Other deals forums use the above list. The author probably copied and put it here. It helps more for people who go to other web sites than it is here since we kind of mix Vietnamese and English. But it is helpful.

Thanks for your input, you're correct. In fact, all the info relates to hot sales, coupons, news.......are collected from other websites + forums. You probably saw this info in the same forum that I saw. Perhaps, other members saw it as well. If you read the rules in Quoc Trung's Welcome sticky thread on top of this Hot Deal forum you will understand why I did not link those forums in here. I wish I could do so, so that no one has to read what I post.

Welcome!!!!!
If you see any good offer for computer stuffs, please post it here so that other members can check it out.

Please don't link it to other forum, just link to the site that offers those hot deal.

Thank you
